Hotel Claremont Guest House

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in Australia. The washroom, toilets and kitchen are super clean. The bed is clean and comfortable. It's very quiet at night so you can get a really good sleep. They have extra blankets in the room in case you feel cold. The staff are very nice and cute. They let me check in when I came early at 8 am. It's only a few steps away from South Yarra station. I will definitely stay here again if I travel to Melbourne.

The location is GREAT. This is like a 5 mins walk from the South Yarra station, really pleasant neighbourhood. Safe. The rooms had no attached bath, I thought it did my mistake when I booked it. So there are 4 shared baths on one floor of maybe 20+ rooms. During Covid occupancy is low so I guess this was ok but I cannot imagine how crowded it might get when travel were per normal. By the night time, the toilets are pretty dirty and usually a clump of hair at the showers. Also note that there is no airconditioning for the rooms. I was there in late Jan and it was really warm. There were 2 fans but it was just circulating warm air, and mind you I come from sunny Singapore so I am used to heat. I was on level 2 so did not dare to sleep with the windows opened because someone really could just climb in, there is no grill nor net. It is a charming old house but I think probably not value for money. I had a single room for myself.

Somehow my review was deleted. Too expensive for what deliver. Noise, corridors stink a vomit, too hot at Nov, too many sunlight at 7am. I arrived 3am my pre booking was ignored! Old man said to find somewhere else!
